“Staged in torrid, trouble-torn Malaya, The Burning Shore is a spectacular and powerful story pivoting on a young man’s attempt to bury sorrow in an arduous and difficult job.
Hugh Copland, seeking to forget the tragic loss of his wife, takes on the task of managing an airstrip ringed by dense Malayan jungle.  In a deadly, enemy-infested land, he soon finds even more excitement and emotion than he expected, for fear is everywhere.”
